Episode 71

In which The Off-Panelists experience pain of a whole new measure as two of the three in attendence tell tales of woe, from the sleep-deprived to a vicious pain that oddly makes for a more interesting tale than usual. Using the podcast to recover, join The Sloth, the Scotsman, and the Spaniard as they go about recounting the aquatic tales of this month's Aquaman, wrap their heads around an unexpected return in Fairest, discover more about how a Marvel baddie got the 'mad' in 'mad titan' in Thanos Rising, mull over The Movement, and give Swamp Thing and Animal Man status updates. Following a brief one-man bout of the Lightning Round, they also discover what it takes to get on DC's bad side, an itty-bitty new book from the Tiny Titans creative team, the end of X-Factor, and the most important question ever asked by listeners... why the *hell* should anyone care about Aquaman?

Episode 48

In which there were... two?! That's right, in a first for The Off-Panel Podcast, only two Panelists are on this week, and the hijinks ensue in ways you'd never believe. Join the Scotsman and the Sloth as they examine the week's books while forgetting their absent co-hosts' names, including the surprising Swamp Thing #14, the equally as surprising Animal Man #14, the Marvel Now relaunch of Iron Man #1 and the redundancy of Iron Man stories, the penultimate issue of Sweet Tooth, and an unforgettable Manhattan Projects that features a sheep, a horse, and sex. In some ways, it's not what you think. In other ways, it's exactly what you think. Plus, a new target of Rob Liefeld's insanity and the most epic tirade of vicious insults ever documented!

Episode 40

In which The Off-Panelists get new wheels and change their name to a symbol, as the Sloth, the Spaniard, and the Scotsman venture into nearly an hour and a half of comic-heavy discussion and "mountains" of news. From Facebook drama for your mama to the many disturbed faces of Anton Arcane, all the way down to a brief review of friend to the podcast Joe Mulvey's Scam #1, it's an episode jam-packed with news, reviews, and spunk. Literally.

Episode 32

In which The Off-Panelists of the week confuse a p-word with a c-word, as the three in attendance celebrate a truly landmark achievement in one of the crew's professional and personal lives. That's right, the crew celebrate Matt's birthday. Oh, and some other thing happened, too. After giving the due congratulations and giving one a de-promotion, the trio of terror talk up the release of The Amazing Spider-Man and give their reviews, with spoilers included, before finally moving onto the week's comics and an extremely prompt story segment. We repeat - there are spoilers -so if you haven't seen the film, don't listen to this episode until after you have. You've been warned courtesy of SICBA Award Winner John Lees.

Episode 21

In which the token female of the crew takes over hosting duties this week, where things quickly get wildly out of hand. True, you'd almost expect it from her at this point, but when the conversation delves into such topics as the horrors of bare feet, an erotic striptease version of The Standard, the ever-classic bagged and boarded debate, slash fiction between two of DC's most inherently disturbing heroes, and the future assassination of Adam Glass at the hands of one of the podcast's own, you start to wonder what you're actually listening to. Luckily, there's the lack of anything at the Eisner Awards to help ground out the day, followed by the greatest fan question ever. Stay tuned to hear the definition of ABBO.

Episode 12

In which the crew find that the tensions really ARE high, as they set off on the quest to record an epic-length episode that includes topics both seen and unforseen, struggling to prepare under the guidance of the show's weekly host by talking over him on several occassions, spiritedly debating whether or not filler is killer, tackling the "Watchmen" controversy head on, and making a siege of inappropriate jokes all along the way. One of us may suffer a stroke by the end of this episode.

Topics for this week include - reviews for DC's premier Dark titles, Marvel's only real dark title, and an Image book that's almost absurdly dark, aswell as DC's "Before Watchmen" announcement, creative team shifts and switches, and finally, taking in some live fan questions.
